If each person is different by nature, then, there is such a thing as human nature, yes?
That is the norm.
But if you are talking about statistical analysis of human behavior and such, then, norm takes on a stilted meaning, yes.
Diplomacy is a facade, of course.
When we dig into things ChiCom, have you not felt the need for a long hot shower afterwards?
Yes, it is a dirty business.
Good guide for direction to dig is when POTUS praises while also criticizing. Think of the praise as the tailend of the arrow.
Dig and ye shall find.
Allspeed Anon.
There are coincidences. But not in what Q has drawn our attention to; that is the point of that particular guidance. Discernment is part of the use of the guiding principles and markers.
Q is not a deity, as we are all aware, and is not infallible nor is Q omnipotent and all-powerful. There are vulnerabilities for all.
Thankqs for all you do, Anon, in the support of the plan and all.
Will keep this on radar screen. Worthy cause but also an event that helps sort individuals who may or may not be players.
Thanqs Anon.
ChiCom threat may be its sudden, and inevitable, decline.
Can President Trump do for freedom what President Reagan did (also against the odds) vs RusComs? Use economic might of capitalism and free market to push an ideological threat from hardware realpolitik into hollow buffs that, when laid bare, lead to collapse of their system?
Yuge risks all round. Must it be done? If not now, then, when? If not us, then, who?

Very interesting, Anon.
The ChiComs are putting other jurisdictions into debt for pointless (empty ghost towns) construction projects. Pointless for the victimized economy but militarily highly significant for the ChiCom national security.
They are leaning forward in the Indian Ocean, for example.
The mob within can tear apart the ChiCom threat. But can also be directed as in Cultural Revolution model. Always a threat to us and to themselves, imv.
Thanqs Anon. Moar insight into the ChiComs from your firsthand experiences? Suggestions for digs?
Allspeed.
Sim experience with Indian negotiators. Always a way to turn "face" to one's advantage. But can be a minefield with middle-manager type negotiators who lack power to decide on foundations of a deal.
Negotiations within negotiations is a human universal, but seems especially pronounced in the Indo-Sino part of our world civilization, yes.
President Trump praises and criticizes in public remarks. In doing so he points where to dig, that is, where to the action is – the praise is the tailend of the arrow.
To get to the negotiating table is one thing. Talks are endless until midnight. This setting of the clock is what the ChiComs do particularly well. Related to "face".
Greatly appreciated posts, too, Anon. When you share that knowledge you raise the prospects for targeted digs on ChiCom topics.
Thankqs, Anon.

Series of vids on ChiCom threat today. Also related discussion of firsthand insights into "saving face" in negotiations.
See:
Sauce for vids include Financial Times and Wall Street Journal. Detailed sauces embedded in all vids in series.
The mob-not-queue is common enough outside of China and outside of asia for that matter. But, yes, can be particularly chaotic where Chinese tourists appear in Western formats. Such formats can occur even in China and the Western rules of etiq do not rule. Kek. Our sense of "egalitarianism" colors our lenses, too, of course.
Cheers Anons.
If you have the sauce for the original publication, please post it. Saves multiple Anons time when handling it. Thanks.
May necessitate a constitutional amendment. On the surface, the illegal entry proviso seems constitutional, imv, but "Born in the USA" is not just a song, Anons.
Yeh, that's the least, but watch for the Modus operandi. The MO is the point of the vid and the top five list is merely illustrative.
Read the 14th Amendment, Anon, specifically the Citizenship Clause. (PIC).

As I said, in my view, illegal entry of a foreigner provides may provide the basis for the denial of automatic citizenship for the child.
For a scant intro on the matter perhaps consult Wikipedia – but dig moar, of course. POTUS will have his legal beagles on it.

Now that's a connection. Chanded. At Chand.
Thanqs, Anon.
Have you illustrated this in graphic yet?
Yeap, the 14th Amendment is not as clear as one would wish it to be on this subject.
For SCOTUS the issue is not one of policy. With the 5 Justices seated now who lean toward the original meaning of the text, the debates on the writing of the Amendment and on the ratification process for its passage will be highlighted rather than policy inclinations.
In my view, we ought not cheer for a SCOTUS that legislates from the bench what we happen to wish to see as national policy. Rather, let them clearly see the original intent, as originally discussed and decided when the text was added to the Constitution.
The jurisdiction part is a key, for sure, as per those contemporaneous debates.
This reflects that the "Black" voters have walked away from the Dems, like what has happened generally in the broader population.
I mean to say that those of us of mixed heritage are Americans first and the ethnicity stuff is not the decisive factor on national policy. When candidate Trump asked why not take a chance – what have you got to lose – people of all sorts got the message and went, hmmm. And now it has sunk in that they can vote any which way. They are free.
Hey, they can vote for this time and against next time. That's freedom. Its the basis for the vote we each possess. Counter messages are very weak in this regard.
Dems are countering in all the wrong ways – ways that helped Dems in the past but which denied the voter (or the target voter) the basic freedom to decide. Dems always have pushed rather than pulled people. And people eventually get fed up being herded about.
Doesn't take all to make the huge diff that is needed in midterms. Even 20% of the "Black vote" would produce amazing results for Repubs. This 40% approval? Sky is the limit.
Surrender?
